Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Dill pickle spears (with brine)
- 1 packet Kool Aid powder (any flavor)
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
1. Start by carefully removing the pickle spears from their jar using tongs or a fork. Set the pickles aside temporarily, leaving the brine in the jar.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Kool Aid powder, granulated sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Add the Kool Aid mixture to the pickle jar, pouring it directly into the brine. Stir gently or cover the jar and shake it carefully to ensure the liquids are well incorporated.
4. Return the pickle spears to the jar, making sure they are fully submerged in the Kool Aid-infused brine. Seal the jar tightly with the lid.
5. Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the pickles to soak in the brine for at least 5-7 days. For best results, gently shake the jar once a day to ensure even flavor distribution.
6. After 5-7 days, the Kool Aid Pickles are ready to enjoy! Serve chilled as a unique snack or alongside your favorite meals.
